Summertime means swimming pools and chlorine which unfortunately leads to a slew of hair-related issues like split-ends, color changes and chlorine build-up. This formula contains coffee which absorbs odors and EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid) which works like a chemical claw to help remove chlorine from your hair. You will need:
4 oz Fresh Brewed Organic Coffee (Room Temperature)
4 oz Bubble Wash Concentrate
1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) Spearmint Essential Oil
1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) Peppermint Essential Oil
Phase 1: Brew coffee using distilled water and organic coffee to prevent adding additional minerals (from tap water/spring water/well water) or pesticides (used heavily on conventional coffee plantations). Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
Phase 2: In a sterile stainless steel or glass mixing bowl, combine cooled coffee and Bubble Wash Concentrate. Stir well to completely incorporate the ingredients. Your product will be dark brown to black in color.
Phase 3: Add essential oils and mix well. Remember that haircare formulas are used close to the eyes. You should use half of the amount of fragrance you would normally use in other formulations to avoid irritating sensitive scalp tissue or mucus membranes. The mint blend in this formula will slightly tingle and help tone down the coffee scent. It can be omitted if preferred.
FYI: Allow formula to sit for up to 24 hours to allow for full incorporation of ingredients. Then package in airtight containers until use.
